Bellavita Bath Lift Chair Review

While returning from the hospital this afternoon, I got a call from Marie and even though I was very tired after a grueling day, I was excited by the news she gave me: She had finally found a good bath lift chair for her 82 year old mother and she was very pleased with what she got from Amazon. After telling me how she researched online looking for the chair, I decided to do my own research on the one she bought and this is what I found out:

Drive Medical Bellavita Auto Bath Lifter

The Bellavita bath lift chair happens to be among the lightest bath lifts in the market weighing only 20. 5 lbs (9.3 kg). At 2. 3″ it is also among the lowest. The seat height reaches 18. 8″ making it excellent for deeper model tubs. The backrest reclines to about 50 degrees at its lowest position (watch the video below). Setup is easy and tool free and the hand controls are water resistant The lithium-ion battery of the unit is in the Hand Control.

Two piece construction makes the lift easy to assemble/disassemble for transport. When not in use, back easily folds down for space-saving storage. The Padded seat and backrest provides added comfort. Washable covers are available in white, blue or grey. Headrest available as an optional extra. 308 lbs (140kg) weight capacity. 2 years guarantee on battery/handset. Lifetime Warranty on frame & motor.

Cons

Does not work very well for very tall people unless the tub is relatively long

The instruction manual is not well explained but setting it up is quite easy

The controls (on, off, up and down) are color coded with no other indication or marking. This can be confusing for someone who has memory problems

Usage Tips

Charge the battery for at least four hours before first use

If you are very tall make sure you have a relatively long tub

My Advice

This bath lift chair had the best reviews out of all that I sampled. The only key negative to this product is the fact that if you are very tall, you need to have a longer tub so that there will be more leg room. But if you are not very tall I recommend it as an excellent and long lasting buy.
